Lee Ben Ibo Has Found a Sponsor!

Lee Ben Ibo is a partial orphan/abandoned child living in extreme poverty. His father disappeared when he was a toddler, leaving his mother alone to fend for their two children. Lee Ben is a young child with so much potential. Please sponsor Lee Ben, so he can escape poverty and achieve his dream of getting an education.

Personal and Family Information

Lee Ben, the child of South Sudanese refugees, lives in Uganda with his grandmother. When his father disappeared in 2008, his mother began working three jobs to support her two children—as a night watchman at an industrial area, boda-boda (bicycle taxi driver), and gardener. She is currently attending a training program away from home to become a tailor. When she is done, she plans to open a tailor shop, so she can better support her children.

Lee Ben is a good student who loves studying English. He is currently in P.1 (first-year primary school). He needs your assistance, so he can stay in school and escape a lifetime cycle of poverty. Your monthly support will pay his school fees; provide him with food, clothes, and medical care; and ensure he does not have to drop out of school to work petty jobs to help support his family.

Please pick a donation option in the menu above and then click the “Sponsor This Child” button to become his sponsor right now!

Give to a Shared Child Sponsorship Project

We know you might want to help create a brighter future for South Sudanese children living in poverty in Uganda but not want to become a regular child sponsor. That's why we created our Uganda Education Project. It is similar to our direct child sponsorship program, except it pools donations, allowing donors to give once, or now and then, without making a commitment. The project pays children's school fees; buys them school uniforms and books; and ensures they are fed, clothed, and have access to medical care. Please consider making a donation to keep impoverished refugees in school today.
